ShadowedFlames Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 So, let's see if Sam's right in his bracketology... (1) Nuclear Templeton vs. (8) Johnny Triumph (2) Diamond vs. (7) The Phoenix (3) Thor Hammerskald vs. (6) Scott Stevens (4) Psycho Sam vs. (5) Ian Carlisle Seed numbers added for my benefit. I gave you Templeton/Triumph, so that much is right. Diamond is the (2) seed, yes. Psycho Sam is the (3) seed because of head-to-head (Week 16, Sam def. Thor) Thor is the (4) seed. 5-7 are tricky because of the three-way tie. So here's how it's broken: Tie-breaker 1: Head-to-head against all others tied with that record. Phoenix (9-8): Def. Stevens week 16, Def Carlisle week 15 (2-0) Stevens (9-8): Def. Carlisle week 6, lost to Phoenix week 16 (1-1) Carlisle (9-8): Lost to Stevens week 6, lost to Phoenix week 15 (0-2) Because Phoenix has beaten both men he's tied with, he earns the (5) seed. Stevens beat Carlisle this season, so he gets (6) and Carlisle falls to (7). Thus, the pairings are as you will see below. <hr> 1. The Phoenix (9-8) def. Benjamin T. Stanton, Jr. (5-12) * Time of Match: 5:30 * Match Grade: B- * Winner's Offense: 70% * 5 winners in the prediction pool each earn 5.00 points towards their season totals. 2. Jack Lightning (7-10) def. Ian Carlisle (9-8) * Time of Match: 7:30 * Match Grade: D * Winner's Offense: 57% * 3 winners in the prediction pool each earn 2.50 points towards their season totals. 3. Psycho Sam (11-6) def. Tarik Nolan (8-9) * Time of Match: 33:30 * Match Grade: A+ * Winner's Offense: 36% * 3 winners in the prediction pool each earn 1.67 points towards their season totals. * This is the Match of the Night (3 for Psycho Sam, 13 for Tarik Nolan) 4. Diamond (12-5) def. Ly Quang Bao (4-13) * Time of Match: 5:00 * Match Grade: E * Winner's Offense: 52% * 5 winners in the prediction pool each earn 5.00 points towards their season totals. 5. Nuclear Templeton (13-4) def. Sebastian Moore (6-11) * Time of Match: 2:50 * Match Grade: F * Winner's Offense: 83% * 5 winners in the prediction pool each earn 1.00 points towards their season totals. 6. Johnny Triumph (8-9) def. Eidenhoek Gaiaspade (6-11) * Time of Match: 8:40 * Match Grade: B * Winner's Offense: 51% * 3 winners in the prediction pool each earn 1.67 points towards their season totals. 7. Scott Stevens (9-8) def. III (8-9) * Time of Match: 18:30 * Match Grade: A+ * Winner's Offense: 47% * 2 winners in the prediction pool each earn 2.50 points towards their season totals. 8. Thor Hammerskald (11-6) def. Master Imoka (10-7) * Time of Match: 7:10 * Match Grade: E * Winner's Offense: 61% * 3 winners in the prediction pool each earn 1.67 points towards their season totals. (NOTE: By the time I remembered to post this, I had already figured out limb damage for the season and prepped the stats for the playoffs. My bad.) <hr> PREDICTION STANDINGS 1.

CJAlex Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 *******Promo********** Ben Stanton Congrats Ian on making the playoffs. I was expected another playoff run for me or both of us. Since we are friends I am going to give you I bit of help. A montage of Wrestling Legends to train you after all you have improve a lot in very little time. The likes of Nemesis, Louis Figo Manico, Angry Gilmore, Steve Flash and Axxis Jr will be helping you train over the next week Ian. Ian Carlisle Thanks man. By the way could borrow Missy for the Finals. Ben Stanton If we can, but I doubt Colt will allow though he is very strict about the rules.

ShadowedFlames Posted September 16, 2012 Author Share Posted September 16, 2012 Will the ToC be counted for predictions? I'm planning to NOT include them in predictions, as they are technically not a part of any season and thus would count as an exhibition series.

Psycho Sam Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I'm planning to NOT include them in predictions, as they are technically not a part of any season and thus would count as an exhibition series. I think I found a reward for the prediction contest I also remember you saying you had a second person in the database in case it's needed. Who would be that character?

ShadowedFlames Posted September 17, 2012 Author Share Posted September 17, 2012 I think I found a reward for the prediction contest I also remember you saying you had a second person in the database in case it's needed. Who would be that character? The character's name was El Draque, and he was going to be a luchador as a total opposite to Phoenix's Big Heavyweight technical wrestler. Since I haven't done anything with him, he has 0 stats in everything and was just in the database as an emergency (and so I wouldn't have to rush anything later).

ShadowedFlames Posted September 19, 2012 Author Share Posted September 19, 2012 Sorry for the brief delay, folks. Had to put the final League Mafia write-up together on short notice. Here's the opening night of the playoffs. <hr> Season Six Playoffs, Night One Chicago, Illinois September 18, 2012 <object width="400" height="25"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfblGznVLJo?version=3&hl=en_US&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="25" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object> THE LEAGUE: SEASON SIX PLAYOFFS, NIGHT ONE Thor Hammerskald (11-6, 41%) vs. The Phoenix (9-8, 39%) Within Temptation's "Stand My Ground" hits the arena speakers as the reigning League Champion emerges from the back, through a wall of flame pyro. His face gives no emotions away as he walks to the ring, stopping at the ring steps to lay his title belt on the top step. A moment later, he slams both fists into the second-highest step before looking up the heavens with a cry of "For the Fallen" coming from his lips. With no further ado, he grabs his belt and steps between the ropes, ready to go to war once again. At ringside, Tori drops her headset to the table and walks towards his corner, her mental transition from color commentator to manager complete. Amelia Williams: Ladies and gentlemen, this is our first quarterfinal match of the evening, scheduled for the best two out of three falls! Introducing first, joined at ringside by Tori Montgomery, from the End of Nowhere, weighing 337 pounds, he is the defending League Champion...this is The Phoenix! Bob Sinclair: Good evening, everyone, and welcome to the first night of the playoffs! We're starting off with the 4-5 matchup, with Phoenix looking to advance from the #5 seed and keep his title defense alive into the final night of the season! Frankie Garnett: Give me a break, Bob. It's a minor miracle he's even in the playoffs at all, and he's going to be gone in short order, mark my words! Anthrax's "Blood" hits the speakers, to a decent ovation he emerges from backstage, looking every bit the part of a Viking warrior as he strides to the ring with a determined look on his face...and scattering some of the fans away from the entrance ramp as he turns to glare at them. Making sure the fans are sufficiently cowed, he climbs the steps and enters the ring, his eyes never leaving the middle of the ring as he takes off his entrance gear. Amelia Williams: His opponent, from Oslo, Norway, weighing 310 pounds...Thor Hammerskald! Bob Sinclair: Thor makes a return to the playoffs, this time without a manager, and may be a dark hourse in this tournament! Frankie Garnett: Let me put it this way, Bob. I put a thousand on Thor at 11-1 odds to win it all. If he's a longshot, I stand to make big when he surprises everyone!

The video screen lights up and flashes across the screen, "Nothing survives my sting!" The crowd starts booing as Dave Mustaine's voice echoes throughout the arena, "I am the Scorpion, whoa!" The jeering intensifies as a mash-up of "I Stand Alone" and "Amazing" hits the speakers, drawing out the former Legacy Pro Wrestling champion. Walking down the aisle, he talks trash the entire way while raising a fist at a few of the more vocal bashers. As he finally gets to the ring, he climbs the nearest turnbuckle and stares down the aisleway, an icy glare and the throat slash gesture his only actions as he drops to the mat.

Nuclear Templeton (13-4, 30%) vs. Johnny Triumph (8-9, 42%) A remixed version of "Ecstasy of Gold" hits the speakers, which is nearly drowned out in jeers as he emerges from the entryway. Instead of taking the steps closest to him, he walks around to the opposite side of the ring, drawing in more jeers as he finally climbs the steps and enters the ring, deciding to enter on his terms and his terms alone. Amelia Williams: This is our final match of the evening, scheduled for the best two out of three falls! Introducing first, from Des Moines, Iowa, weighing 228 pounds...Johnny Triumph!

Billy Idol's "Shock to the System" hits the speakers, bringing the crowd to their feet in ovation as one of the League's more recognizable faces emerges from backstage and across the green-tinted stage. Behind him, shouting final words of wisdom at him as he strides to the ring, is his manager, who seems unfazed by the surroundings. As they reach the bottom of the ramp, Nuclear raises his arms in the air, causing twin mushroom clouds to explode on the entrance stage before he slides into the ring, ready to go. Amelia Williams: His opponent, accompanied to the ring by Coach Robert Greene, from Atlantic City, New Jersey, weighing 278 pounds...Nuclear Templeton! Bob Sinclair: The two-time League runner-up and last season's consolation tournament winner comes in this season as the top seed in the playoffs. Many think this is finally his season to win it all.

Ranson Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 You had me worried when I scrolled down and saw that second Lacrymosa... Good match. That's my first non-tag playoff win, I think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OctoberRaven Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 @III- And thus my revenge is satisfied, because I made Stevens so worried about his wife's safety, that he choked againt Sam. @III- You can claim anything you want, Stevens, but we both know that to be true. @III- But once again, you only thought as I wanted you to think. @III- Truth is, I was in Houston, with a Stevens... a Mary Robyn Summer Stevens. Hence the "MRS Stevens" license plate. @III- She was my 11th grade science teacher and well... we have good chemistry #IfyouknowwhatImean. She moved to Houston last month, but she gets a little lonely sometimes @III- Like I would waste my time with your wife anyway. Your wife is a 4... I'm spending the week with a 10. @III- Oh, I also tricked THE ENTIRE LEAGUE. I never needed to worry about my career. I had an agreement with CZCW. @III- If the League does come back, I'll be happy to be there. I'll hope to see most of you (except Scotty The Choke Artist) again. Twits.

ShadowedFlames Posted September 19, 2012 Author Share Posted September 19, 2012 BTW, re the league mafia? That is why you never, ever, ever, ever allow a no-lynch as town. Especially going into day 3 and beyond.... Anyhow, I don't see the sense in waiting until 8 to post the championships...especially with Borderlands 2 calling my name. So you're getting the final night of Season Six a couple of hours early. Enjoy! <hr> Season Six Playoffs, Night Two Chicago, Illinois September 18, 2012 <object width="400" height="25"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfblGznVLJo?version=3&hl=en_US&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="25" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object> THE LEAGUE: SEASON SIX PLAYOFFS, CHAMPIONSHIP NIGHT SEMIFINAL 1: Diamond (12-5, 29%) vs. Psycho Sam (11-6, 28%) A rather non-descript rock theme plays as the League's newest member emerges from the back, striding towards the ring with the look of a cold-blooded psychopath on his face. Behind him, his chosen manager seems to be overwhelmed by the thousands of people in attendance as he tries to shrink into his robe of many rocks and stay on his client's heels as best he can. Amelia Williams: This is our first semifinal match, scheduled for two out of three falls! Introducing first, being accompanied by The Rock, from the Island of Alcatraz, weighing 296 pounds...Psycho Sam! Bob Sinclair: Welcome to the final night of The League's sixth season! Bob Sinclair, here with Tori Montgomery and Frankie Garnett, and we're starting with what some have to be calling a mismatch. Tori Montgomery: Mismatch or not, Sam doesn't have an easy task tonight as he faces the number two seed for the right to compete for the League Championship! Frankie Garnett: I think he has Diamond to rights here, though Diamond's pulled out more wins than most people would give her credit for! "Don't Cha" hits the arena to a mixed reaction as The League's lone female member emerges from backstage. There is a confident smirk on her face as she talks trash with some of the louder fans before sprinting into the ring by diving under the bottom rope. As she stands, she proceeds to the corner nearest the announce table, hands thrown in the air as the soaks in the crowd reaction while her manager stands outside, also applauding her client. Amelia Williams: His opponent, accompanied to the ring by Jayde, from Aberdeen, Scotland, weighing 137 pounds...Diamond!

He comes in tonight with a career record of forty-one wins against thirty-six losses, and weighed in at 310 pounds. Hailing from Oslo, Norway, ladies and gentlemen...THOR HAMMERSKALD!

Derek B Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! I think we're going to have to have a Season 7. Nuclear is by far the most awesome wrestler The League has ever seen and he deserves a championship. That match with Thor was ridiculously awesome... had thought the League's top babyface was going to pull off an epic comeback for the championship so that he could go on to the biggest stage of them all and win everything. Sadly, Vince Russo booked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
